Luxury Tour in Madhya Pradesh

Twists and turns and rolling hills carry us through forest of Panna, starting our day right on the perfect road for biking! We emerge onto the plains where we find traditional villages and lovely rural scenery. We cruise through the Surdaha Ghati hills, giving us a beautiful view of the valley. We arrive at the ancient princely state of Maihar where we spend the night.

We experience heavy traffic for the first ten miles or so, but quickly rejoin the small country roads that we love. The landscapes provide colourful contrasts: dry croplands, bright yellow mustard fields and lush rice paddies. We reach the hotel deep in the forest in the National Park. We have lunch at our “Jungle Lodge” and can spend the afternoon as we wish: by the pool, taking a bike ride or a walk to the neighbouring village.

Dawn offers the greatest likelihood of spotting big cats, so we rise early for a safari in Bandhavgarh National Park. The park was a royal hunting lodge before being established as a National Park in 1968. It spans 715 square miles, with its vast meadows and marshlands cradling 32 forested mountains. The park has the largest population of tigers in the world.

Today we truly enter the heart of tiger country with a long ride on beautiful, smooth roads and scenery which sometimes resembles the African savannah. We pass many authentic villages, giving us plenty of opportunities to share experiences with local people. We take several tracks to reach the hotel, which is nestled in 16 hectares of forest. The rest of the afternoon is yours to spend as you wish.

We get up at dawn for the last safari of the trip. Kanha’s rolling landscapes are peppered with groves, hills and meadows, which are home to a large number of animals. You can spend the afternoon as you wish: take a dip in the swimming pool, relax, go for a bicycle ride or take a walk to the nearest village.

The roads are new and the surface is often impeccable, interspersed with thrilling tracks, allowing us to fully enjoy this final day at the helm of our Royal Enfields. We cross forests and countryside before reaching our destination in the heart of Pench National Park.

It would be such a shame not to enjoy this idyllic setting a bit longer, so we spend the day with some well-deserved relaxation by the pool. If you fancy exploring the property’s 16 hectares, you can organise one last safari (not included on the itinerary) or a last little loop in the countryside and neighbouring villages.

We are transferred by a private vehicle to Nagpur airport according to flight schedules. We arrive in Delhi in the evening where you check in to the hotel and can spend the evening at your leisure.
